      @DrakkenZero@retro.pizza replace #mastodon (way too fancy) by #snac / #snac2 and it fits even better :) already the full meaning of snac makes this clear ;)

            Fortunately, @voron 's site on snac themes still has this screenshot, which I'm happy to share.

            This response from the author of snac motivated me to continue, study, and appreciate this fantastic software for the Fediverse.
            Snac is an example of true internet democracy: it runs everywhere and allows anyone to have their own autonomous, personal space in the Fediverse.

            "Don't despair or quit", says an author who cares. And the Fediverse cares about them.

            For today's , I want to thank grunfink - @grunfink - for the excellent work they do, quietly and with passion. I suggest that if you think snac is a good idea and you have the means, you offer them at least a coffee.

              First, it looks a bit strange. HTML attributes, tags and elements wrapped in C? But it's quick! And @grunfink@comam.es had a great idea of simplifying it with the helper functions to even close them again. The more I adjusted all the things in / to my personal needs, the closer I had a look to the code base after being absent to snac for almost a bit more than a year. He made a really great job!

                @MonaApp@mastodon.social Hey guys, long time Mona user (since it's the only iOS app to support servers). No idea if you are interested to look at it, since it requires a snac server, but whenever I reply to a post with multiple people, some of them lose their full address (image attached). I thought it's a Snac issue, but it does not happen in the web interface, only in Mona and when there are multiple people to reply to. If there is any way I can help debug it, please let me know

                  Started the first iteration of () customizing to match . It took a bite more time than initially expected but @grunfink@comam.es indeed made some great and clever ideas when creating snac. The function for attributes and tags in his C functions are a great idea and simplify it. I guess, I simply had added them statically... However, a preview is available right here (as said, still not perfect, more to be done soon):

                          Huh, looks like is a nice alternative to Mastodon, and sits somewhere in between Mastodon and in terms of resource usage. I feel like I should try it. Do I have enough time? No. But still I want to try it. Even has official FreeBSD support. Has anyone migrated from to GTS?

                                      Yeah. I can't see the difference between mute and delete for a post not written by me. It's gone either way isn't it?

                                      The only difference is informing other parties about the delete if it was written by me, or am I overlooking something?

                                      Edit: I asking because I'm thinking maybe one of the buttons could go away to make room, or change its behavior. Like "hide" could be instead "mute" to only not inform anymore on the conversation, but don't delete it (like mastodon does)

                                        Does someone know the difference in "hide" and "delete" under a post?
                                        What does this technically do, and how does it affect what I or others see from this post?
                                        Is there a different behavior if it's my own post or something in my timeline?

                                        It seems both options delete the post from my view. I only don't know whats the difference beside that.

                                          allows for translations via .po files and on my instance I've used it to replace status action buttons' captions with colour emojis — makes the UI a bit nicer on a phone.
                                          For favourite, boost and bookmark I've used the set that I already use in my BloatFE and the rest are just initial rough ideas — which, I have to admit, aren't perfect: crossed out speaker and crossed out bell, garbage bin and big red cross are a bit confusing as to what they might mean — we'll see if I can come up with something better.

                                          And I've also brought back Mastodon's famous "toot" button. Yes, the one with the elephant 😏
